Covid-19 Draft Risk Assessment for Reopening September 2020 Reopening Risk Assessment 17th September 2020 The Macclesfield Academy: Covid-19 Draft Risk Assessment for Reopening September 2020 Introduction Following the closure of schools in England for most students which came into effect on 23rd March 2020, The Macclesfield Academy operated a “Rainbow School” for the children of key workers and those who are vulnerable because they have and EHCP or a social worker. On 15th June, provision in the “rainbow school” was increased to include Year 10 students. The government is now asking schools to re-open to all students at the start of term in September 2020. The reasoning behind this decision is set out in the DfE guidance on re-opening (last updated on 17th September 2020): When we made the decision to ask schools to open only to a small number of children, this was done with the aim of reducing transmission of coronavirus (COVID-19), to protect the NHS and save lives. As the situation improved, we began to consider how we could bring more children and young people back into schools. From 1 June, we supported primary schools to welcome some children back, focusing on specific year groups being educated in small ‘bubbles’, and from 15 June secondary schools welcomed back year 10 and 12 students to spend some time in school in small groups, with public health risk reduction measures in place. Since 15 June, primary schools have also had the flexibility to bring back other pupils where they have space to do so. Now, the circumstances have changed. The prevalence of coronavirus (COVID-19) has decreased, our NHS Test and Trace system is up and running and we are clear about the measures that need to be in place to create safer environments within schools. Returning to school is vital for children’s education and for their wellbeing. Time out of school is detrimental for children’s cognitive and academic development, particularly for disadvantaged children. This impact can affect both current levels of learning and children’s future ability to learn therefore we need to ensure all pupils can return to school sooner rather than later. (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/actions-for-schools-during-the-coronavirus-outbreak/guidance-for-full-opening-schools) 1 Reopening Risk Assessment 17th September 2020 On 21st August the Chief Medical Officers of England and the devolved administrations and their deputies published a consensus statement setting out their analysis of the advantages and risks to students and staff of re-opening schools: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/statement-from-the-uk-chief-medical-officers-on-schools-and-childcare-reopening It is important to note that the grounds for the government decision that the much needed re-opening of schools is safe are: i) The decrease in the prevalence of coronavirus and ii) The efficacy of the test and trace system The Office for National Statistics conducts a rolling programme of random household testing in order to estimate the prevalence of coronavirus in the community (ie outside of hospitals and care homes). The latest data for these “pillar 4” tests is for the week to 10th September. The ONS reports that: During the most recent week of the study, we estimate that 59,800 people in England had the coronavirus (COVID-19) (95% credible interval: 46,900 to 75,200).1 This equates to 0.11% (95% credible interval: 0.09% to 0.14%) of the population in England or around 1 in 900 people (95% credible interval: 1 in 1,200 to 1 in 700).While the percentage of people testing positive for COVID-19 has decreased since the start of the study (26 April 2020), the most recent modelled estimate shows the number of infections has increased in recent weeks. The Macclesfield Academy supports the government’s conviction that reopening schools is in the best interests of our students. However, there are three important considerations that will need to be kept under constant review. The first is that the national prevalence is now rising and more stringent control measures (including the “rule of 6”) are now being applied. It is likely both that the prevalence will continue to increase and the control measures will continue to intensify over the coming weeks. At this stage, therefore, we should be extremely cautious about relaxing any of the control measures that are currently in place and should consider whether there are any additional controls which might contribute to reducing the risk of transmission of the virus within the Academy and/or provide additional reassurance to staff, students and parents. The second is that fact that prevalence is not uniform across the country. The Public Health England data based on the week to 15th September (and including positive tests in hospitals and care homes as well as the results from test centres in the wider community- pillars 1 and 2) now show both that Cheshire East has a higher prevalence than the national average and that in some of the surrounding council areas (including several from which staff and students travel to the Academy), the rate is greater still while in many of the Metropolitan Boroughs to the North and North West it is now over 100 per 100000. Although these data are subject to the vagaries of different levels of testing availability and should be treated with some caution, it is important that we continue to monitor these more local figures carefully. 2 Reopening Risk Assessment 17th September 2020 Cheshire East and Neighbouring Councils Local Authority area Cases per 100000 (week to 15th September) Cheshire East 24 Cheshire West and Chester 27 Derbyshire Dales 8 England Median 16 Staffordshire Moorlands 17 Stockport 48 Stoke on Trent 30 Trafford 46 Warrington 95 North West Metropolitan Boroughs Local Authority area Cases per 100000 (week to 15th September) Bolton 190 Bury 105 Knowsley 117 Liverpool 119 Manchester 90 Oldham 113 Rochdale 90 St Helens 100 Salford 100 Sefton 62 Tameside 91 Wirral 98 3 Reopening Risk Assessment 17th September 2020 The third is that the severity of infection varies significantly according to factors such as age, comorbidity, ethnicity and gender. (See https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/908434/Disparities_in_the_risk_and_outcomes_of_C OVID_August_2020_update.pdf and https://fullfact.org/health/Covid-19-inequalities-minority-ethnicities/.) The fall in the rate of infection since the height of the pandemic and the fact that school staff belong to occupational and socio-economic groups which are less prone to infection, mean that, at the start of term, any additional risk for staff or students who may be in vulnerable groups was likely to be minimal and remains very small. However, we will need to keep this under review and work with any colleagues and students for whom additional control measures might be helpful, particularly if they are pregnant, over 60, have a serious medical condition or belong to a BAME group. The aim of the Risk Assessment which follows is to support the government’s intention that schools should be fully open in September (with all that that involves in terms of class sizes) but to implement this in a way which errs on the side of caution and takes particular care to monitor both local circumstances and individual needs. Our control measures will continue to include, but not be limited to the control measures set out in the guidance on the full reopening of schools which are, in turn, based on the hierarchy of “sensible measures” set out in the DfE publication of 12th May, Coronavirus (COVID-19): implementing protective measures in education and childcare settings which informed our Summer Term risk assessment: a requirement that people who are ill stay at home robust hand and respiratory hygiene enhanced cleaning arrangements active engagement with NHS Test and Trace formal consideration of how to reduce contacts and maximise distancing between those in school wherever possible and minimise the potential for contamination so far as is reasonably practicable We will continue to monitor the documentary evidence and, as the scientific understanding and advice develops, and our own understanding of the practical implications of increasing the number of our children present on our site increases, we will review and, as necessary, amend this Risk Assessment. Until “normal operations” are fully restored, our Health and Safety Committee will meet monthly to review the Risk Assessment and approve any modifications made. Fundamental to our measures for minimising contact is the staggering of the start and finish of the day (by Key Stage) and of break and lunchtimes (by year group). For the foreseeable future, our school day will be organised as shown below. 4 Reopening Risk Assessment 17th September 2020 Lesson 1 Lesson 2 Lesson 3 0840- 0900- 0920- 0940- 1000- 1020- 1040- 1100- 1120- 1140- 1200- 1220- 1240- 1300- 1320- 1335- 1400- 1415 1440- 1500- 0900 0920 0940 1000 1020 1040 1100 1120 1140 1200 1220 1240 1300 1320 1335 1400 1415 1440 1500 1520 Year 7 Break Lunch Break Year 8 Break Lunch Break Year 9 Break Lunch Years 10-11 Break Lunch Form Lesson 1 Lesson 2 Lesson 3 Form d 5 Reopening Risk Assessment 17th September 2020 Risk Assessment Risk Gross Gross Control Net Net Impact Likelihood Impact Measures Likelihood (see note 1) A student arrives in school Low- Moderate- Remind parents of government guidance on staying safe Low Low- showing symptoms of the Moderate High outside the home at Moderate Covid-19 virus https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/staying- safe-outside-your-home

    University of Kent's Institution Contextual Flag All schools on this list meet the requirements for the University of Kent's Institution Contextual Flag. The Institution Contextual Flag is given to all institutions whose data indicates that they perform in the bottom 40% nationally for KS5 results reported by the Department for Education each year. We use the average point school per entry and where data is not available, we use KS4 result, if available. In order to make this more reliable we look at data over a three year period to see if they are low performing for at least two out of the last three years. In cases where an Institution is flagged, but subsequently closes, the flag will be retained and the institution will continue to appear on the list. We use the Institution supplied by you in your UCAS application (the UCAS centre or Last Institution) to identify whether it has a Contextual Flag. Please note: independent schools are not included, neither do we have data from government agencies in Scotland and Northern Ireland and therefore these cannot be given a flag. Similarly, there may be schools or colleges which have recently changed name, status or have merged and this has resulted in no data being reported by the Department of Education , in these instances we will not be able to assess the Institution for a Contextual Flag.
